EA may be taking its "Medal of Honor" series directly into modern-day combat in 2010 in its quest to reclaim the FPS crown. "Battlefield: Bad Company 2," meanwhile, will be keeping World War II alive for at least a few scenes before transition into the present day. Such details, along with accounts of power-drill attacks, appeared in the ESRB's M-rating justification.

EA may need some jewelry on their heads before they're satisfied with the performance of their FPS releases in 2010. A few weeks ago, their CEO John Riccitiello said he wanted to take the "leadership position in FPS" away from the "Call of Duty" series.

More media continues to pour out from GamesCom 2009, including this trailer for "Battlefield: Bad Company 2," which gives a sampling of some of the activities in the game's multiplayer.
While I appreciate the dramatic camera angles and storytelling in this trailer, I can't help but prefer something like the "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2" multiplayer trailer, which uses straight gameplay footage to show off the new features.
That being said, I think "Bad Company 2" multiplayer has a lot of promise, having seen it at E3, and its March 2010 release date means we should be somewhat out of the "Call of Duty" blast zone by the time it drops.
